Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike Rower

I ordered the Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower a while back. Shipment arrived fast, however the packaging looked beaten up and sure enough a piece of equipment was damaged beyond repair. Requested replacement and the second shipment not only had the same type of shipping damage, it also appeared to be a previously returned item from another customer. So I am returning the second shipment as well and requested a refund. Not sure if its related to the sipping company Amazon is using for this type of heavy equipment. Shipper is called CEVA and I have never heard of them before. Either way based on my experience I cannot recommend this item from Amazon, stay away, even though my feedback is really feedback on the suppliers ability to ship items and not the item itself. Happy Rowing ... with some other equipment ... purchased I don't know where yet.

We are very pleased with this bike/rower. It shipped much faster than promised, was easy to assembly and is easy to operate. It is smooth sailing to use, and no trouble to switch exercises in the middle of a workout, which helps us stay at it for more than 30 minutes. And it is quite enough to use while the TV is on in the same room and not disturb anyone. We are very satisfied with our purchase.

This is a cheaply made product, but it's good if you want something simple to use at home. It's super silent, so if you're looking for a low to medium impact exercise that you can do while watching television or reading (if you don't mind holding the magazine or book up while you bike) Even on the highest resistance it isn't very hard to use. Very easy to put together & easy to change from bike to rower. It wasn't what I was hoping for when I bought it, but I'm glad that I have it. I probably would NOT recommend it to a friend.

All in all this is a great product, I had it put together in under two hours. It works well and offers a little bit of variety to your workout. Also, it folds enabling the unit to be pushed into a corner or against a wall for a more compact storage when not in use. Simple to use in every manner and great fun for those who enjoy biking or rowing.

i bought this last week after much thought and consideration. i am not in shape and have asthma to boot so i wanted something i would stick with. i am also one of those people who really appreciates multi-functionality. i hated the idea of spending hundreds of dollars on one machine that i would probably get tired of really fast, so this combination really appealed to me. i was however, kind of doubtful that something seemingly too good was worth the money, space, and effort. first of all, i am way too lazy and cheap to fork over $700 for this, so i bought mine used for about $300. it was in very good shape, minimally used. i inspected it and finally bought it and brought it home. the machine itself is pretty handsome, as far as exercise machines go. it's low to the ground, narrow but long. it has a very comfortable seat and sitting in it with feet in straps is also pretty comfortable, kind of like sitting in a lowrider sportscar. it does have a couple of small wheels in the front t...
